From ST. Nicholas for ,Jitlu

From 81. Nicholas for Juiy.
July-for you the songs are sung
BY birds the leafy trees among;
With merry carolings they wake
The meadows at the mornings break,
And through the day the lisping breeze
Is woven with their tree-top glees.
For you the prattling, pebbly brooks
Are full of tales like story-books.
For you fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossom urns
Which tempt the bees to hasten homo
With honey for their honey-comb.
The river, like looking-gass,
Reflects the fieecy clouds that pass,
Until IL makes us almost doubt
If earth and sky are MT changed about.
July-for you, in silence deep
The world seems fallen fast asleep,
Save on one glorious holiday,
When all our books we put away
And every little maid and man
Is proud to be American!

A RAVENOUS- EAGLE.
Terrible Fight Between An Eagle and
Buzzard in Mid Air.

buZZ6rQ IN MID AIR.
writer in the Dublin Gazette says: On May
s ! saw fight between an eagle and buzzard.

miles below my plantation, when heard roar
ing sound like that made by train in rapid
motion, or by a heavy wind. The noise ap-
preached nearer and nearer and grew louder
and louder. looked round but could see moth
ing, and was at a loss to know what caused the
disturbance until happened to look up, when
saw two large fowls fighting in mid air, about
the height of "A tail pine tree from the ground
In short while both fell to the ground only
about twenty steps from me- i then saw that
il was very large eagle, which had caught a
buZzard as her prey. For three minutes
eagle hoped off a few feet distant and
warily surveyed her prey She then hoped
up to the buzZard, turned 1t over with one claw
and having become satisfied that it was dead
flew up into pine and gave two screams which
could easily have been heard mile She sailed
with four young eagles about the size of large
hawk. They all pitched upon the buzzard and
commenced tearing it in pieces. Just such
chattering have never heard There was a
grown hog feeding near by, and, no doubt
smelling the blood, trotted up to where the
eagles were. The old mother eagle screamed
and struck the hog, cutting one of the hog ears
off even with its head. The hog retreated and
the eagle struck it again, this time taking off
part of its tail. | then advanced, but did not
dare to fight, and hence moved off in an oppo-
site direction, leaving her and her family to
peacefully complete their meal. The eagle. |

The Difference.
From the Detroit Free Press,
There was q man.

There was man.
And he had horse and wagon
And he went about the streets selling straw
berries.
And he yelled: "Strawburiesl straw-buriesn ~
at the top of his voice.
The sick groaned in despair.
The well gritted their teeth with Indignation.
And the police couldn't stop him.
But one day Providence picked him up with a
congestive chill and sent him home to die, and
he expired in agony.
He was buried in cheap coffin, in cheap
lot and six weeks later his widow was married
to q tinker.
And there was another man, and he also sold
strawberries. Instead of roaring: STRAW
berries !" from down in his boots, he drove about
at u gentle pace, knocked softly at every back
door, end as the girl appeared he quietly re-
markcd: please ask the lady of the house if
she will buy fresh Strawberries at SC a quartz
And his ways were taking, and his berries
went as fast as he could load up, and a syndi-
cate of millionaires took hold of him and made
him President of national bank, with salary
of $4,000 year. For further particulars see
later editions.

A funny incident occurred in theatre at
Kansas City, Mo, the other night. During
the performance of border drama Capt
Jack Crawford. the noted poet-scout, who
was in box, became greatly excited. Leap
ing on the stage he struck two counterfeit
Indians heavy blows in the face, knocking
them headlong, blackening an eye of one
and cutting open the lip of the other Capt
Crawford excused himself upon the ground
that he could not bear to see his old-time
friend, Wild Bill, pressed hard by Indians
even ON the stage. The counterfeit Indians
no doubt, will demand higher salaries, or i'll
sist that squad of police shall be detailed
to protect them the next time Capt. Craw-
ford is in the audience.

Wall Streets FURRY Explained.

It has finally leaked out that Jay Gould
was the cause of the recent furry in Wall
street. The story is that Cyrus Field held
$4,000 shares of Manhattan railroad stock,
a part of which Mr. Gould wanted and he
wanted it at a much lower price than it was
quoted at on the market. The way he pro-
ceeded to get it shows what a very sharp
business man he is. 1t seems that Mr.. Field
held much of his stock on margins. OF
course if the market dropped off to any con-
siderable extent he would have to make his
margins good, and to do that he would
require a large sum of money. 1t is
well known that money has been scarce in
New York for several weeks, and on several
occasions has commanded a very high rate
of interest. Mr. Gould had loaned out on
call between $4,000, 900 and $7,000,0 900. A
day or two before the furry he began call
ing in his loans. This caused stringency.
When he had about all of his available cash
under his control the raid on Manhattan
stock was begun. The stock dropped rapidly,
and Mr.. Field was unable to get money to
make good his margins. Rather than lose
his stock he sold $4,000 share to Mr.. Gould
at about the price Mr.. could was willing to
pay for it.
This is the story of the furry as told in
Well street 1t may not be wholly true.
1t is certain, however, that Mr. Gould has
$4,000 shares of the Manhattan stock which
Mr.. Field held just before the furry. Mr..
Gould and Mr.. Field claim to be very
good friends, however. Perhaps they re-
ro,.l l. Fas. =. ~
gambling In that case Mr.. Field will
watch for an opportunity to get the better
of Mr.. Gould in future transactions. The
chances are he will have to watch long
while. Mr.. Gould claims to be afflicted
with insomnia. He is afflicted with some
thing which prevents other Wall street
operators from catching him mapping. He
is wide-awake about all the time.

The latest gossip about Senator Colquitts
chances for succeeding Secretary Lamar
should the latter be appointed to the bench
of the United States Supreme Court, is to
this effect: Senator Colquitt, say his adj
mirers in Washington, has been strongly
identified with the temperance movement in
Georgia, and it will do the President no
harm in the South to take him into the
Cabinet. On the other hand, some who arc
not so friendly to the Senator, say that to
take n man of his temperance proclivities
into the Cabinet will injure the Democratic
party in the Northern States. In the mean

A SAN FRANCISCO dispatch says that Col

and again asked If the Central Pacific had
paid any money for influencing state or ma
tional legislation, and what explanation he
had to offer for paying bills wiVIout vouchers.
Mr. Cohery, counsel for the company, said
that he felt compelled to instruct the witness
not to answer. "What is your answer" de-
mandel Commissioner Pattison. @On advice
of counsel decline TO answer" said Croker.
The commission then went into executive ses-
sion TO consider whether or not proceedings
shall be instituted in the United States Court
TO compel Croker to answer the question.
